2 NOTES If you have multiple user accounts on your Windows 7 computer with photos and music you would like to share, you will have to log on to each account and run the wizard or set up each user separately in order stream all of your photos and music from that computer. It may take a while for Media Share to display all of the files on your TV for PC folders with a large amount of content.

Use the UP or DOWN button to select the computer to be accessed, and then press the OK button.

5 USING MEDIA SHARE On the U-verse TV access the Media Share application. Press the MENU button on the U-verse remote control, scroll right to the Interactive heading, select Media Share, and then press the OK button. A list of PCs in the house with media sharing enabled will be displayed. Use the UP or DOWN button to select the computer to be accessed, and then press the OK button. If no Windows Media Connect servers are available, an information screen appears indicating that the U-verse Receiver could not find a computer to access the files from. Make sure the computers to be accessed are turned on and media sharing is enabled. Return to STEP 2 in the set up instructions for further information on enabling media sharing on the PC.

Use the UP and DOWN buttons on the remote control to scroll through the photos/folders. Press the OK button to display an individual photo or a photo playlist. Media Share will automatically transition to the next photo. If you would like the image to remain on the TV, press the Pause button. TO PLAY MUSIC To play music by Album, Artist, or Playlist, use the Up and Down buttons on the remote control to highlight that choice and press OK. To play the music files by another topic, select Music and press OK.

9 TROUBLESHOOTING If Media Share is not recognizing your PC, there may be an issue with the computer s firewall settings. Please consult your firewall documentation for appropriate configuration information. When accessing a folder with a large amount of photos or music, Media Share may take some time to load them. Please be patient. When playing a photo slideshow, larger sized photos may take longer to be transferred to the TV. This may give the appearance that some photos are not displayed as long as others. Music CDs that are inserted into your PC cannot be played over Media Share. Only content on the PC drives may be played over Media Share. If you have multiple user accounts on your Windows XP computer with photos and music you would like to share, you will have to log on to each account and run the wizard or set up each user separately in order stream photos and music from that computer.
